Score!

One of the guys here at work stopped at an estate sale. They had a Dell Latitude D830 Laptop that is identical to the laptop we keep in the airplane. It was purchased new and stuck on a shelf. It has Windows XP Pro with Office 2003 Pro and that is about it. It is downloading Service Pack 2003 right now. He paid a whopping 25 bucks for it. The current laptop has many long hard years of service on it. This one will get to take it's place.

I will have to swap the hard drive to a solid state drive and it will be good to go. Spinning hard drives crash at 10,000 feet in an unpressurized airplane like ours.

I will have to load the one program we need to run the mapping camera and that is it.
